:mad: |
AGREED!!!
more to that I can say that this willing to fill up 101% of headroom makes me feel like one is trying to make it sound more "progressive" opposing to "ordinary" trance/house etc. which I personally find sad because for me music has gone way down qualitywise (corpared to 2003 and earlier) |

| ^ Blah. Proressive has nothing to do with this. If anything, progressive is usually less filled, because there are no supersaw leads taking headroom. Listen to some James Holden for example. |

what James Holden do you mean my friend? The one before 2004 or after cause those are completely different people:haha:
im not talking about lead or supersaws. im talking about that cheap "reverb everything & gate the vocals" stuff i.e. the ASOT crew... only a few guys still have their own kind of style... hang on boys! :D |

They took out the supersaws so they'd have more room for shakers...
And some other stuff, too. |

You and I both know it's really just about the shakers. |

| Percussion instruments is the sh*t. Just how boring would any trance track be without 'em? They'd just sound the same as everything else. |

are you suggesting that trance is the only genre to use percussion? because if that is the case, i suggest you listen to some latin music. trance only wishes it could use percussion like that. |

| ive heard a lot of tracks which quite surely borrowed latino percussion. |

His post doesn't suggest that at all. |
